Come on guys, lots of industries do this shit. What about the Audi S3 and the VW Golf R? Nearly the same too, but fuck me if the Audi isn't sexier.

Or frankly all the KTM's and Husky dirt/dual sport bikes.

The motorcycle consuming public can't be both insanely shallow and all about "the look" and playing fucking cosplay dress up with your matchy matchy gear and hard on for retro styled anything and then be annoyed when a brand recognizes the the subliminal request and supplies. As a consumer group, we have literally asked for this, literally begged for a factory cafe racer. Well here it is.

And yet you bitch and whine and moan and groan.

Personally I think the black version with the dual sport tires is stupid, it's a road bike put road tires on it, but the white version is otherwise super slick looking and fuck me if I actually kind of want one. I kinda hate that I do, but I can't lie, the bikes look sick and they were kept so close to the concepts that I'm legit impressed.
